I`m getting ready to install my new classic chevy 5 speed. Does anyone have any tips to help?

Hey Let me know how this works out for you..

I had posted a few questions last week On the set up fopr a 73 Z

Wich one did you go with ??

Dial in bell housing. This site has excellant instructions.. Do a search on Bellhousing Dialin or alignment. Most vendors provide you with installation notes and tips.

Make damn sure you have the right throwout bearing, chevy short, the best ones are marked BCA

installed a t - 56 into my 1967... fit like aglove.. go with the mechanical clutch linkage.. it is riot to drive.

1) Read through the entire instruction packet provided in the kit before you start your install.
2) Test fit as many parts as possible before you start (ie clutch disc on input shaft, etc.)
3) Check all threads and bolts.
4) Make sure your clutch fork angle is correct - refer to the instructions.
5) Keep our phone number with you during the install if you have any questions: 760-438-2244. We'll help you if you get stuck.
6) Tune in your favorite radio station, take your time and have fun.

Thanks all I can`t wait to get it in. 73 Z I got the 600. Also Jeffmort I`m going to keep a phone real close.

If you are running a stroker engine, ie: make sure they sent you the correct fly wheel. They sent me one for a 350 not a 400 with the counter balance. We caught this in the nick of time.

Luke-
Glad we caught the flywheel situation for your car. Actually, a flywheel for a 383 can be internally or externally balanced depending on which crank is used.
It is always a good idea to check out all of your parts before you get started (as you did) to make sure you have the right stuff - especially the flywheel.
